Patient's question:
My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer about two and a half months ago after a thorough examination. The symptom is that she coughs every day. Since there are children at home now, I would like to consult about it. Will the cough from lung cancer be contagious? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
This friend, cancer treatment experts quote, lung cancer does not infect. However, lung cancer can spread, lung cancer can not only spread locally but also spread to adjacent tissues, such as the external space of the lung (pleural cavity), pericardium, and may also spread to more distant parts, such as lymph nodes, liver, bones, brain, and the other half of the lung. In addition to regular treatment for lung cancer, patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as eating light meals daily and going out for activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis, so that they can obtain good treatment effects.
